I enjoyed my stay - staff was friendly and helpful, service efficient and the resort is very peaceful. Only issue was mosquitoes in the villa - there was quite a lot of them.
The resort is fabulous in every way. The view of Dubai is unique and breathtaking. The food and service are excellent. The only downside is the price, but you get what you pay for.
We highly recommend this hotel for a different experience. From the moment you enter the Anantara welcome center you are taken care of, Ahmed & his team were very helpful. The boat trip to the island takes around 15-20 minutes only.
Our butler Yoon took great care of us & assisted us whenever we needed.
The food, service, spa & beach are all great & we highly recommend this trip
A 5 star oasis of calm and tranquility. From the moment we arrived at the dock, we were treated like royalty. The staff, accommodation and food were 5 star. We loved every minute. Special shout out to Sandaru who cleaned our room with every attention to detail and to Aziza, our villa host who was on hand 24hrs a day to meet all of our needs.
A truly incredible experience - we will definitely be back!
We stayed as a family of 4. Our children are 7 & 4 years old. We had four wonderful days at the resort. Both my wife and I had spa treatments and the children played by the beach, pool and kids club everyday. The staff were amazing, so friendly and attentive and made us feel very special. Thank you so much for a wonderful Experience
I personally don’t consider this hotel 5 stars starting by the service of the staff at the reception in exception of Amir A; it was extremely challenging to get what Expedia gave us as platinum members and Expedia was unable to communicate either with the hotel so we had to spend our time on this.
The hotel surroundings is beautiful, there are deers, ducks, birds… this was my favorite part.

the AC place is in the ground very Inconvenient It hit our head when we set and when we sleep we can't sleep because its directly on on us.
Food was below average they get you the food cold The quality of the food is average.
The staff are very nice good service.
The public pool area is too small we could not find a sun bed it was full there is maybe 20 sun bed we have to sit in the restaurant to use a public pool.
The Experience we had in Anantara The world Islands, is an amazing experience !!
we were welcomed in an amazing way once we arrive by the boat to the island by the team.

Our stay was wonderful! It was nice being able to escape the city life a bit, and the staff were all so accommodating and welcoming. Our villa host, Arve, was so kind and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and the facilities were clean and top notch.
We just came home from a wonderful stay at Anantara World Island!
Gayan and the rest of the staff delivered a very good service and attended to every need we came with.
The hotel is at a good standard and You get a true Island feeling despite being only 15 minutes sailing from Dubai.
The mini Maldives of Dubai! In usual Dubai and Anantara style, the property exceeded expectations. Smooth checkin and lounge on the mainland as you wait for the boat to amazing rooms and service on the island.
Great food and a super spa - was there almost daily.
